As part of Enterprise Week 2008, we’ve caught up with a range of entrepreneurs to ask them a few questions and hopefully help inspire you to unleash your entrepreneurial spirit!

First up, it's Andrew Ardron, the founder of ProspectSoft Ltd, a UK-based developer of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software and Solutions, primarily for the SME and small corporate markets.

Andrew started up ProspectSoft Ltd at university, and in a similar fashion to Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook founders) he gave up university to work on his business. Over the last few years he has built the business up to dyanamic enterprise employing around 50 staff, including an army of placement students.

Emma Jones, founder of the UK's leading home business website.

Emma Jones is the founder of Enterprise Nation, a free resource to help you start and grow your business at

 home, and author of ‘Spare Room Start Up – how to start a business from home’. But more importantly, she’s also our business mentor!

Next up, it's Amanda Jones and James Brown from the award winning Red Button Design.

Founded by James Brown and Amanda Jones in 2006, Red Button Design have gone from strength to strength. You may have seen them on Dragons Den delivering the first (and only!) pitch to receive an offer from all 5 Dragons! We also came up against them in the National Final of the HSBC Unipreneurs competition earlier this year and like us, Amanda and James set up their company whilst studying at University.
